Read about another entry on the list.The Starks and Lannisters (A Song of Ice and Fire series, by George R.R. Martin)

The very qualities that make them so admirable spell their downfall, because honor can be a real handicap in Westeros.

And let’s not even get into the Targaryens, those crazy weirdos.
